STATEMENT FROM FLAMES GENERAL MANAGER JAY FEASTER ON THE GAME CLOCK DELAY IN LOS ANGELES

Thursday, February 2, 2012 “It is our understanding the NHL is already investigating this matter. Moreover, as Colin Campbell was quoted as saying, once the game is over it is over. There is nothing the NHL is going to do, or can do, to correct the situation if, indeed, there was a mistake made in that game. Rather than crying over what happened in a game in which we did not take part, our time and energies are devoted to our own team and doing everything we can to win the games we play and in so doing qualify for the post-season. We sincerely believe that is a much better and more efficient use of our time and effort.”

I agree, JJ. It’s bad enough the officials color games far too often. We can’t have clocks showing preference - intentionally or otherwise. This is one of the only aspects of the game that we trust will be perfectly objective.
